Hi there! Isn't my post title a bit weird? lol, I'll soon explain you why :) It will soon be Father's Day in the USA so this week we are focusing in dads. But as I didn't have any father's related stamps in my Joy's Life stash, some serious measures had to be taken...
See my sentiment? It originally said "Happy Cake Day" and belongs to Joy's Yummy Puns stamp set, which you can find here. Love this set! But that didn't stop me from doing a bit of stamping surgery to get the sentiment I needed. I simply cut the stamp (carefully, no one got harmed!), separated the 3 words and mounted "happy" and "day" on an acrylic block. A new sentiment! And the best part is that I can mount the original saying back too. Joy's Life stamps are made of high quality photopolymer, so they will keep their shape and fit back perfectly. I'm thinking about making a tutorial for stamp surgery, what do you think?
Thanks for visiting and don't forget to check on the rest of the DT here!
